Not much news about this out of austin, yet. Still early and I bet the news agencies are waiting for official word from police.

But, googling shooting in austin, texas there are a LOT of shootings in Austin, Texas.

Austin Police Confirm Officer-Involved Shooting In Downtown Entertainment District

what was he doing? The guy that got shot? Why did kalu feel it necessary to emphasise black man,that not only was it a man that got shot but a black man.

Faux news gets boners when black men get shot

If you have to ask that question you need to question yourself.

@HuskerPower52 you're statistically 2.5 times more likely to be murdered by a cop from the time you're born. More white people die. But blacks are a MINORITY.

 

[Brasky]

More whites killed by police, but blacks 2.5 times more likely to be killed

So then...

Remember, if all black on black shootings are not given the same high profile news coverage as cops shooting a black man , that that is a version of fake news. One of the worst kinds I might add.

What the media is doing is giving the perception that the only people shooting blacks are cops.

192 shooting homicides in Chicago so far this year, 83% of the victims were black. Of the known assailants, 21 of them are black, 4 have been by police. There has been no suspect charged in 162 of the shootings.

One person is murdered in Chicago about ever 15 hours.

Unbelievable!! Go ahead cops shoot them as you please, they got other problems they need to deal with.

 

[HuskerPower52]

I think we should take Daniel Tosh's approach and only allow black people to be police officers and white people to be firefighters

 

[HuskerPower52]

I guess I didn't realize it was a cop that shot the guy I thought it was just somebody that got shot.

So I don't have the right to ask questions about something? anything I fucking damn well please I don't have the right to ask questions about? Is that what you are saying Brasky?

what he is saying is that a majority of white america has no idea what its like to be in the ghetto and when someone tries to answer your question - it is usually met with resistance.

Be blessed that you have no idea the life of waking up and wondering if you are going to get shot, have your ass kicked, or be detained by police every single fucking day because of your zip code.

Want to bitch about welfare. try living that life. its not all steaks and whistles. I don't bitch because I know where I came from and where i am now. Trust me. i don't give a fuck if some guy buys a $30 steak once in a while.....

Not to sound insensitive but why do I need to feel sorry for people who don't want to improve their situation if they're stuck in a ghetto that's because they're choosing to live in a ghetto. Remember you can be poor in any corner of the world you want to be in but if you're poor in America with all the opportunities people have in this country it's kind of hard for me to feel sorry for them when they choose not not to be a contributing member of society.

I find it hard to feel bad for these people who are "products of their environment" when they are contributing to the problems in the it environment. when you're selling drugs and not going to school I don't have any sympathy for you.

This all sounds good at face value and I wish I could agree 100%. However I believe that people in the ghetto don't have the same opportunities or at the very least are not on a level playing field as say, a white middle class kid growing up out in Millard.

The problem goes way deeper than just saying "go to school and become a contributing member of society". I don't think people understand that the effects from 100s of years of slavery and inequality don't just go away after a few years.

Yes I wish people in the ghetto would simply rise up and demand better. But they need the resources, infrastructure and support to do so in most cases.

In reality it's all based on the individual though it's how hard you want it and how hard are you willing to go after it and get it

Ultimately yes.

But like I said, minorities living in the "ghetto" are not standing at the same starting line as everybody else.

Anybody living in the ghetto. Not just minorities. Anybody.

Not to sound insensitive but this post makes you sound ignorant about the entire subject.
